About Us

Founded in 1998, Gentle Spirit Christian Church is an independent, affirming and progressive church serving metro Atlanta. We are open, positive and inclusive.

Our Founding and Senior Pastor, Rev. Paul M. Turner, was called by a group of believers to lead an inclusive church community committed to worshipping God freely in an atmosphere of grace, forgiveness, unconditional love and individual growth.

We are an independent Christian congregation where people are encouraged to have a personal relationship with God that is supported, not defined, by the church. We strive to be a community where each member is viewed as a unique creation of God.

Our mission is to bring the message of redemption and grace to those people who have been victims of oppression, rejection and misinformation and to assure them they are true heirs in the realm of God.
